(Continued from last week.) COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH. The enormous increase in the value of the staple after it has paseed through the loom, presents the highest evidence of the necessity for the more rapid building of cotton mills in the South, and the exporting of the finished product from our shores rather than that of the raw material, j The export of our raw cotton an-! nually briogs more gold into this country than the combined exports of all other agricultural products and agricultural implements shipped from America to foreign countries, i j A crop of such magnitude in value, j and one upon which the entire civilized world so absolutely depends, should receive the immediate pretention of every business interest in this couutry. No cotton grows in foreign countries up to the present time, can be deliverd at our ports at a less price than 14c per pound. It is generally admitted by experts which have investigated the efforts made to produce cotton in foreign countries, that up to the present time, such efforts have been a failure, and it is extremely doubtful if there will ever come a time when foreign * *l J grown cotton can ever De proauceu ; profitably in competition with Amer- j ican grown cotton. OCR ASIATIC TRADE. It is confidently believed that the Panama Canal will be opened to the commerce of the high seas within the next ten years, after which time, the South will be in a position to Becnre direct and quick trade relations with the Asiatic nations of the Far East. In China alone, more than FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE are ready and willing to wear cloth made from American cotton. In JapaD, more than FOR IT FIVE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE are equally willing to be clothed from American grown cotton. With the introduction of our trade relations with three hundreds of millions of people, a crop of fifty million bales | of cotton can be consumed with the same ease as is now done with a crop of ten millions, among the civilized nations of Europe and America. With these splendid possibilities lying just ahead, only wailing for proper development, the time has come when the South must no longer look to the mere matter of production, but in the development of our agricultural resources, we must begin to reach out for wider markets in order to meet the rapidly developing agricultural conditions of the South. INFORMATION AND CO-OPERATION. The principal motive power needed to advance and promote our interest are splendidly (quippedorganized forces, operating in perfect harmony to reach a correct solution of the problems which now confront us. This organization among our people is being sought through the SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION, and the prospect for success i* particularly gratifying at the present time. Ibe South possesses an abundance of brain, energy and manhood. In the veins of her people courses the highest type of Amglo-Saxon blood; a race which has always been fqual to every emergency and which has invariably accomplished every great ol j?ct which it has undertaken. What the South needs more than all things else, is information with reference to the matters outlined above. Our people should know the splendid possibilities within their reach and how to develop their great resources. The time has come when the New South will take on renewed energy and prepare to take its stand in the front ranks of the foremost nations of the world I have abBolute confidence in the future of my country, and believe the time is rapidly approaching when the a IVfSV CoresGriP ? iw> in Two Days, 1 on/ ?* on every 8 /fcjCfrrvbox, 25c.J South will be the richest and most desirable section of this great nation j in everything which pertains to ad! vanced agriculture, commerce, inj dustrial activity aGd the highest | type of citizenship of an educated j commonwealth. j MEMBERSHIP DUES The annual membership dues are only 25 cents per annum. The fixed 1 income of the Association and of the i various State and Territorial, County | and Parish organizations, is to be : obtained by an annual assessment of ! a few cents on each bale of cotton produced by its members in 1905, and a small per cent, on the capital stock of its members engaged in other lines of business throughout tne ooutn. mis system win distribute the burden of maintaining the Association equitably on all lines of business alike and enable the Association to safeguard and protect the great staple crop of the South from the depressing influences of foreign domination. Last December, without organized effort, the spot holders of cotton in the South were forced to submit to an actual lose of $20 00 per bale, and it was only after the great convention at New Orleans on January 24th and the creation cf the Southern Cotton Association backed by the united efforts of the farmers and other business interests in the South that the tidal wave of depression was checked. Since that (imo fill 1T7 tnjontTi.firo millinn /Inllava UUiU intlilj UTC Uilliiuu UUUQia in value have been added to the spot cotton held in the South, and this has been accomplished in the face of intense opposition on the part of the strongest combination ever organized among the bear element of the cotton interests of the world. GET TOGETHER AND STICK. The Southern Cotton Association will gladly co-operate with all allied organizations seeking to advance and promote the general welfare of the farmers in particular and the business interests of the South in general. It will antagonize only those interests antagonistic to the general welfare of our people. The Southern Cotton Association expects to have a membership of two million earnest, active workers before the end of the present year, and through its broad yet compact business policies, absolutely protect and safeguard the future prosperity of our 16,000,000 population. There should be no antagonism from any quarter among | our own people, but let us work in liofmArc fr\r a onmmr\r\ nation on^ fnr a common purpose. For detailed information write to the Secretary of your State Division or to the Secretary of the Southern Cotton Association, Richard Cheatham, 921 Empire Building, Atlanta, Ga. In unity there is strength; in division there is disaster. Let the New South formulate its policies to successfully meet the changed conditions inaugurated through 20th Century methods. In the mean time meet the present crisis which confronts us at this time jy heavily I | curtailing the cotton acreage for | 1905, diversify your crops and raise your food supplies at home, then all will be well from North Carolina to the Rio Grande. In conclusion let me impress upon every man the high importance of becoming at once a member of this Association and earnestly work for its future success. It makes no difference if vou are a member of | anothfi organization. We need your co-operation and assistance. This is a Southern movement that should at once appeal to the endorsement and loyalty of every Southern man. Yery truly yours, HARYIE JORDAN, ' Pres. Southern Cotton Association. j Chamberlain's Cough Remedy tho Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and want to say it is the best j cough medicine I have ever taken," says | Geo.
